In Memory of Ruth Graham

Billy Graham, the American evangelist and his wife Ruth are seen in this 1988file photo as they pose in front of Ruth's birthplace in Huaiyin, Jiangsu province, China.

Billy Graham said the following in the public memorial service of her wife who passed away at the age of 87:

"Ruth was an incredible woman. I wish you could look in her casket because she is so beautiful, I sat there a long time last night looking at her, and I prayed, because I knew she had a great reception in heaven." (details here.)
